Families to get cholesterol tests :

The UK is expected to endorse the screening of families for an inherited cholesterol disorder which increases the risk of heart disease.
Final guidance due next week is tipped to recommend that children of people with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) should be tested by the age of 10.
FH affects one in 500 people in the UK, or 110,000 people, yet only 20% of cases are currently diagnosed.
Siblings and children of people with FH have a 50% risk of inheriting it.
